Abstract
Investigation of the Effectiveness of Activities Based on the Prodecural Model on Students' Reading Comprehension Skills with Mixed Method Research
The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the procedural modelbased
reading comprehension practice on the reading comprehension skills of 8th grade
secondary school students. The study was conducted with the embedded design, which
is one of the mixed research methods. In the intervention application of the research,
an experimental design with pre-test post-test control group, one of the experimental
designs, was used. The research was conducted with 8th grade students in two different
secondary schools in the province of Ağrı in the 2019-2020 academic year. In the sampling
process, the schools where the study will be carried out were determined with the simple
random sampling method, and then the experimental and control groups consisting of
93 students were determined with the simple random sampling method, and the reading
comprehension activity application based on the procedural model developed during the
research process was applied to the experimental groups for 14 weeks. In the process of
data analysis; Content analysis method, normality analysis, Single Factor Covariance
Analysis and t test were applied. Within the findings obtained from the research, it is
seen that the reading comprehension application based on the procedural model is an
effective approach in the development of 8th grade students' reading comprehension
skills, and that the findings obtained from the analysis of the documents obtained during
